> [@Blue\_Blistering\_Barnacle](#): > > more science: > > describes mri of missionary and rear penetration > > also discusses previous efforts > > There is a common theme of the penis usually going into the vaginal fornices (arches), either anterior or posterior to the cervix, depending on methodology. The mri study had the penis in the anterior fornix for missionary and posterior fornix for rear-entry. I’m afraid I may be overquoting a bit here, so I only post the second (missionary) and third (rear) runs; the first run was a “dry run”, to demonstrate the undisturbed anatomy. They do show significant vaginal stretching to accommodate the penis. > > [[PDF] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Sexual Intercourse: Second Experience in Missionary Position and Initial Experience in Posterior Position | Semantic Scholar](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/2047/9b249830ac30431a8176cdfed86f01caf339.pdf) It amused me to see some of the pictures in the article are credited to a Dr Zwang. ---

> [@Ulfreida](#): > > Here’s a slightly more interesting question: why are men so much more interested in what their dicks look like than how to use them properly? Because men fantasize about being effortlessly attractive to women, one of those James Bond types who could get laid any night of the year. Since they picture this in terms of being the converse of the typical male attraction to females i.e., having a hot bod, they presume that a generously-sized penis would do it. (Actually it’s not as much looks as having the right pheromones, but that’s another topic). ---

The rule of 10,000 says that in order to become “world class” at anything, one must accomplish 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Given the average male, that would take, oh, 60,000 sexual experiences, or once a day for 164.4 years! :eek:😃 ---

> [@Ulfreida](#): > > Here’s a slightly more interesting question: why are men so much more interested in what their dicks look like than how to use them properly? Men fear getting a bad ‘review’ about their dick presentation prior to sex. After sex they’re too busy falling asleep/smoking a cigarette/avoiding cuddling to notice or care about reviews at that point. ---
